Before the Council of Justice, in 1700, in the business of the divorce, shedeclared all her children from the existing marriage had been engenderednot by her husband (due to his incapacity) but by Frederick Boot, and thather husband himself encouraged this ('en dat haren man haar daartoe selfsaanleijding soude hebben gegeeven').The muster roll of 1701 (dated 31st January 1702) lists Frederik living inStellenbosch with eight children, and Maria listed on her own but also inStellenbosch , apparently living apart from them.In 1706 she and Frederick were found guilty of co-habiting, as far as Ican gather because this still constituted adultery on her part, even thoughher husband had divorced her in 1700, presumably because she was notgiven leave to marry again. Before this court she declared, rather en-dearingly, it seems to me, that she and Frederick had sworn troth to eachother, just as though they were truly married to each other and that theyhad lived together for several years as man and wife, and had togetherproduced eight children. The court was not impressed.In 1713 Jan Cornelis van Oudbeijerland died and they were free to marry.
